Newcastle v Watford Betting Tips – Premier League 25th November 3.00pm
This should be a pretty entertaining contest at St James’ Park on the weekend. Newcastle need to give themselves a boost by taking a win in this one to snap a poor three match losing streak of form that they are on. But Watford have done alright out on the road this season and should be competitive in this one after they returned to winning ways on the weekend with a good victory over West Ham. This should be a pretty good match up between the two of them.
Newcastle News and Form
Newcastle have slipped to three straight league defeats. While they weren’t expected to get too much out of their trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United on the weekend, before that they lost against Bournemouth and Burnley, both 1-0 defeats. So they are struggling at the moment a little bit. They have netted just the one goal in their last three games as well. Dwight Gayle opened the scoring at Old Trafford on the weekend for his first goal of the season and he is 15/8 to net in this one. Only two Newcastle players have managed to make it to two league goals for the season. At St James’ Park, Newcastle form this season is W3 D1 L2 which isn’t bad at all but they are W1 D1 L1 in their last three there. There have only been the seven goals at home from them so far and just 33% of their games at St James’ Park this season have seen more than two goals so under 2.5 goals at bet365 returns a price of 3/4. 67% of their entire games this season have been under the goal line. The Magpies have not been trailing at home at half time this season in the league so a half time draw could have appeal. 79% of their goals conceded in the league this season have all been in the second half of matches.
Watford News and Form
Watford snapped their three match losing streak in the top flight after recording a 2-0 home win over West Ham. Richarlison netted his fifth league goal of the season in the game and he is a good 9/4 bet365 anytime goalscorer option for this fixture. Watford have gone W3 D1 L2 this season and despite having lost their last two road games at Everton and Chelsea, they have kept their streak of scoring exactly two goals in each of their away games this season which is pretty remarkable. That should mean that they will seriously challenge in this one. The Hornets have conceded at least two goals in each of their last three away games and are without a clean sheet in four on the road now. But they are playing some good open, positive stuff and 67% of their goals away from home have been in the second half of matches. Again, hinting at a half time draw is the fact that Watford have only been behind at half time in just one of their six away games this season in the Premier League. Two of their three victories away from Vicarage Road have been by a two goal margin.
